Germany's housing sector has seen a sharp rise in news approvals this year. From January to October 2025, authorities greenlit 195,400 homes—a significant jump from previous figures. The latest data reveals strong growth across both single and multi-family housing segments. The first ten months of 2025 brought a 14 percent increase in news approvals compared to the same period in 2024. Local building authorities across Germany's federal states authorised 159,200 new dwellings during this time. The latest approval numbers point to a robust expansion in Germany's housing market. With multi-family and single-family segments both growing, the data suggests a continued push to address housing demand. Authorities have now cleared nearly 200,000 new homes in 2025 so far.
